Chapter 257 But what if she is a member of the Fang family?
The atmosphere in the restaurant was suffocating, wave after wave.
Fang Yefan only heard Fang Zhen say, "Say it again?"
Fang Yefan suddenly felt a chill. He felt that if he dared to say it again, Fang Zhen would immediately slap him and kick him out of the dining room.
"I……"
He was still hesitating when Yan Xinyi glared at him and said, "Second brother, are you crazy? Shut up!"
Fang Yefan felt a pang in his heart, and suddenly became stubborn, "I'm not crazy..."
"How dare you talk nonsense!"
"I'm not crazy!"
Fang Yefan suddenly stood up excitedly, “You don’t know, this time when I was filming with her, we…we were stranded in the freezing cold together, we went through life and death together…she saved me so many times…I…I was almost dead, but she never gave up on me and brought me out of the dead…I thought to myself then, if I survive, I will be good to her for the rest of my life…”
"You two are siblings, isn't that obvious?"
Yan Xinyi found it unbelievable and couldn't understand his thoughts.
Fang Yefan paused for a moment and said, "Several years ago, I stopped considering her my sister. And seeing her again these past two months... she's become very different, and... very charming, very attractive to me..."
"..."
“When I was filming with her, I often couldn’t get out of character. Sometimes, I would even dream about her… I didn’t want to ruin her relationship, so I’m saying this hypothetically, as an assumption…”
Bang——!
Fang Zhen slapped him across the face. "Even if we assume, it won't work. Our Fang family has never engaged in such filthy and disgraceful acts! Does your sister know that you have such despicable thoughts? If you really want to thank her, you should protect her properly, not ruin her reputation for your own selfish desires!"
Fang Yefan's head was slapped to the side, and he took the slap head-on. His face swelled up quickly.
Fang Zhen's words darkened his eyes, but an even more turbulent emotion surged within him.
He knew that if he couldn't win this time, he would never have another chance to be with Fang Ke openly and honestly.
Fang Yefan then clenched his fist, and the veins on one of his arms bulged.
"Since she's not my biological sister, why can't we be together!"
These words were shouted not only throughout the restaurant, but also by the servants outside.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, immediately glancing at the people next to them to confirm whether they had overheard some incredible secret of the wealthy family.
Holy crap.
Then came another loud slap, and everyone immediately stopped looking at each other, holding their breath for fear of incurring the patriarch's wrath.
Sure enough, a short while later, Fang Zhen walked out, his face as cold as an extreme glacier, as if getting too close would freeze you to death.
The servants on both sides shrank back and retreated. Then Yan Xinyi came out. She paused in the middle and said coldly, "When working in our family, you need to know what you can listen to and what you can say. I don't want anyone to discuss what happened today."
Those below dared not speak, quickly lowering their heads even further, all promising to be cautious in their words and deeds and to faithfully perform their duties.
Inside the restaurant, Fang Han couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration once again.
"It was definitely worth coming back. Thank you for letting me see such a good show, Fang Yefan."
With two symmetrical handprints on his cheeks, Fang Yefan felt annoyed with everyone. He coldly warned, "Stop making sarcastic remarks."
"So what if I told you?"
Fang Yefan let out a cold breath, intending to turn around and leave rather than stay and be ridiculed for nothing.
What's wrong with him wanting to pursue Fang Ke?
Fang Ke isn't a member of the Fang family!
They weren't the type to have a loving and respectful brotherly relationship from childhood. Fang Ke had never considered him an older brother, and he... stopped considering her a younger sister a few years ago...
He and Fang Ke had been through so much together, even her current unlikable boyfriend couldn't compare.
If he has the opportunity, why shouldn't he fight for it? Why should he just give it up to someone else?
Is it because of this worldly identity?
Fang Yefan also wanted to be a rebel who was true to his heart. He walked out aggressively, ready to fight against the world by himself. However, this burning passion did not last long. Fang Yiling poured cold water on him with a single sentence.
"But what if she is a member of the Fang family?"
Fang Yefan froze, then abruptly turned around. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Fang Yiling looked at him coolly, "I didn't want to tell you first, everything is still being verified, but rather than let you continue to go crazy like this, I might as well give you a heads-up and bring you back to your senses."
Fang Yefan took a half step back, "...You lied to me."
Fang Yiling said sympathetically, "Guess why I was in such a hurry to call my third sister back? I should have told her first."
Fang Yefan took another half step back, his face turning pale. "I don't believe it... Fang Yiling, you've been going against me since we were kids."
Fang Yiling scoffed, "What do you have that's worth me going against, Second Brother?"
"..."
"Compared to someone like you, who treats people like treasures when you're happy and like stones when you're unhappy, I'm still too normal."
"…………"
Fang Han stood up and patted Fang Yiling, "Forget it, he's just recovered from a serious illness. Don't make him so angry that he has a stroke again."
Fang Yefan ignored his sarcasm and repeated, "I don't believe it... The reports were all verified back then, Fang Manman is the one... Yes, where is Fang Manman?"
"You're talking about Fang Manman. She's probably afraid I'll call the police and get her arrested and jailed, so she's been hiding for a month... I guess your Su Yao knows where she is."
Fang Yefan's face darkened further, and he immediately retorted, "What do you mean 'your Su Yao'? Su Yao has nothing to do with me anymore. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all!"
"And it's one thing for you to tease me all the time, but Fang Manman has had a terrible time. She's been homeless for over twenty years, and her parents feel guilty towards her. Why did you tease her? And even called the police to arrest her? How childish are you? What will the police say when they come? That you two were just playing around fighting? Don't waste the country's police resources!"
Fang Yefan listened to his long-winded explanation and calmly asked, "Is arson enough?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Forget it, what's the point of arguing with your linear thinking? Go get two bags of ice from the kitchen and erase those two handprints."
"..."
"I'm going to find my third sister now. Eldest sister, are you coming?"
Fang Han smiled leisurely and said, "Let's go."
The two left one after the other, leaving Fang Yefan alone, his mind still reeling from Fang Yiling's few words.
What's the meaning? !
Is Fang Ke possibly still a member of the Fang family?
Was the fire at the Fang family home related to Fang Manman?
Is Fang Yiling making up a novel?
They treated him like an idiot and made fun of him!
Fang Ke sat in the flower room where she had performed the piano last time for almost an hour before Fang Yiling and Fang Han finally appeared.
Fang Ke crossed her arms, leaned against the tripod piano, and slightly lifted her eyelids. "After all this time, is Dad really that angry?"
Fang Han stepped forward and chuckled, "He is angry, but not at you. He's angry at someone else, and you two are now involved."
"?"
"Let's not talk about that now. Yiling, come here quickly. What news did you find out? Why do you have to wait for your third sister to come back before you can tell me?"
Fang Yiling nodded, glanced at the two of them, and then said somewhat seriously, "Last time, my third sister asked me to investigate a criminal. This person likes to act as a middleman, introducing dirty work and human trafficking. He has cooperated with Su Yao twice, and the first time was even led by the Mo Clan."
"When my third sister was on the film set in Monterey Park, she was almost tricked by several fugitives, and it was this person who did it. So we followed the clues and wanted to find out what their first transaction was."
Hearing this, Fang Han also stopped smiling and stared at Fang Ke, asking, "What happened? You were almost tricked?"
Fang Ke scoffed, "Not really, I've already sent him to prison to be shot."
Fang Han: "...Alright, Yi Ling, stop keeping me in suspense. I already know the backstory, so tell me quickly."
Fang Yiling glanced at Fang Ke again before saying, "I found out that Fang Manman was introduced to Su Yao through Cao Jian, also known as Brother Jia. Before that, she was just a lackey in Cao Jian's hands and didn't know Su Yao at all. So when she first appeared, she was introduced as Su Yao's best friend from the countryside, but that was all a lie."
"...I now suspect that this charade of a real and fake heiress is a joint masterpiece by Su Yao and Xiao Yichen, and Fang Manman is just a tool they use to humiliate Third Sister's identity."
"so……"
Fang Yiling suddenly looked at Fang Ke with teary eyes, her voice becoming excited, "You are still my third sister, my older sister, a genuine member of the Fang family."
